HANGER FOB, ELONGATED ARTICLES Application filed August 3, 1928.

My invention has for its primary object to provide a simple, inexpensiveand effective hanger for suspending elongated articles such as scarfs,fur neck pieces and the like from a bar or other support.

To this and other ends my invention in its present preferred embodimentconsists of a hanger frame, having by preference a hook at its upper endto engage the ordinary horizontal closet bar, and two substantiallyparallel cross-bars on the lower end, the upper cross bar forming aclamp, to engage and hold the article to be suspended, and the wiolepreferably made of one piece of metallic wire, substantially ashereafter described and claimed.

In order that my invention may be fully understood, 1 shall firstdescribe in detail the mode in which I at present prefer to carry thisinvention into practice.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings forming part of thisapplication for patent, in which like parts are designated by the samenumbers in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a perspective View of a hanger embodying my invention.

Figure 2 shows a fur neck piece suspended therefrom.

Figure 8 shows a scarf suspended therefrom;

In the specific example of my invention thus illustrated, the hanger ismade for simplicity and economy of a single piece of wire bent to form ahook 4 at its upper end to en- 35 gage the ordinary horizontal bar of acloset or another support; a medial frame 5, and parallel cross-bars 6and 7 at the lower end of the hanger, to engage the article to besuspended.

I prefer to make this form of my hanger by bringing the wire from thehook t downward and outward to form the side member 8 of the frame 5,then crosswise to form one member 9 of the upper clamping cross bar 6,45 then downward and crosswise to form the lower cross bar 7, thenupward and crosswise alongside the member 9 to form the other member 10of the clamping cross bar 6, then upward and inward to form the otherside 50 member 11 of the frame 5, and to a meeting Serial No. 383,208.

with the upper end of the opposite side member S of the frame, aroundwhich it is twisted to complete the hanger.

This han er may be conveniently used, as shown in Figure 2 securely tosuspend a headed fur neck piece with clamping jaws, by opening theanimals jaws to receive the upper cross bar (3, and then inserting thelower cross bar 7, between the extension of the animals lower jaw andthe head, thus firmly holding the fur piece against accidentalattachment.

his hanger may also be used for suspending a scarf or other long pieceas shown in Figure 3, by passing it laterally between the members 9 and10 of the upper clamping cross bar 6, and letting the piece hang andbear against the lower cross bar 7.

This hanger may be conveniently used in various other ways and may bevaried in its detailed construction to suit different purposes, and inall cases forms an extremely simple, cheap and effective device for thepurposes for which it is designed.

I ciaim as my invention:

A hanger formed of wire bent to form suspension means at its upper end,a side frame member depending downwardly and outwardly therefrom, anupper cross-clamping member, a side member depending therefrom, a lowercross-member, a side member risingtherefrom, an upper cross-clampingmember alongside the other cross-clamping member, and a side framemember rising therefrom to meeting with and fastening to the oppositeside frame member.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.

JOSEF MARTIN AHN.
